Quote:Although I'm curious about just who I've driven away.
I have no idea who these people are, but I think I know why they might be offended by you. You write in a concise manner, saying exactly what you mean in logical, impersonal terms. This is a manner which (probably) to many here is appreciated, but which, if it were used in conversation, would seem rude and abrupt, and there are some people who treat all communication as if it were verbal.
